The sound came from far to near, and the light blue phosphorous fire drifted to nowhere, and an orange light in the woods shone over, and gradually became clearer as the sound approached.

The light dispelled the darkness, a cart appeared in the shadows of the trees, two figures came one after the other, and the crow overhead suddenly began to sing loudly.

Then with this light, the two of them could clearly see who came, it was the two monks, big and small, who were offering tea in the temple.

"Bastard!" The great monk picked up the lantern to drive away the flying crows, "What are you barking about!"

He waved the lantern in his hand, and the orange light swayed left and right, and Ke Ran had just seen the whole picture of the mass grave.

I saw large and small earthen bags all over the place, many corpses were not completely covered, with legs or hands exposed, not even a tombstone, and even more corpses were only wrapped in a broken mat and thrown away. Beside the soil bag, many of them have been completely changed by the birds and beasts tearing and chewing.

When the lights were turned on, many crows that were pecking at the exposed corpses flew up into the air one after another, screaming "Wow, croak, croak" above their heads, which made people's hair stand on end.

Ke Ran shivered, and subconsciously grabbed Chai Jin beside her.

Feeling the trembling of the people around him, Chai Jin stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his shoulders, pulled him closer, and held his icy cold palm, warming his skin with his thick and calloused hands.

The warm body temperature spread from the palm, Ke Ran trembled for a while before returning to normal.

The corpses fell in disorder, and the great monk held up a lamp and walked back and forth to check which corpses were still fresh. From time to time, he showed disgusted and disgusted expressions, and kept fanning himself with his hands.

"Brother," the little monk looked at him and suddenly called out, "I'm always in a panic today, maybe something will happen?"

"What nonsense!" the great monk scolded him viciously, "how many times have we done this job? You useless piece of shit, are you still retreating now?"

"No," the little monk stammered and shrank his neck, "I always feel that there is something looking at us in the grass, and I feel uneasy."

The great monk pressed his brows quickly, a layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, but he still stuck his neck and said forcefully: "What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that there is a ghost? If you talk nonsense again, I will leave you here to feed the birds! "

"Yes, yes, yes," the little monk hesitated for the most part, and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I must have misread it, brother, don't blame me."

Seeing that he was subdued, the great monk seemed calmer, and continued to bow his back to examine the corpses, "Master said that he brought back at least three fresh corpses today, and we will go back to rest soon after we are done with work. I'm already too tired to scold my mother."

The little monk naturally had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The two people in the grass held their breaths and concentrated, their brows became tighter and tighter.

These monks do things for others during the day, and at night they go to the mass graves to steal the corpses, it is really abhorrent.

Ke Ran's fingers hanging on both sides of her body subconsciously clenched, and she had already forgotten most of her fear. Sensing his strangeness, Chai Jin squeezed his wrist hard, signaling him to feel relieved.

The two monks carried shovels and dug out the freshly buried corpses one by one. The graves were cleaned out one by one, and the crows kept circling above their heads, shouting loudly, making people's hearts tremble.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the two finally collected a suitable corpse, carried the corpse to the cart one after the other, and went to the nearby area to chop some leaves and branches to cover it.

"It smells so bad," the little monk held the lamp in one hand and covered his nose with the other, "this corpse is turning blue, so rotten that the bones are almost visible, it's worse than the ones of the previous days, Master won't blame us, will he? "

"Whatever, this is already the best," the great monk was anxious to leave, "The old man is urging us so hard, we can only take this for the time being, if there is no body tonight, we will be the ones to suffer. "

After he finished speaking, he lifted up the two handrails of the scooter vigorously, "Hurry up, the moon is about to go down, and when the lamp oil runs out, we have to go back in the dark."

The two chattered for a while, then lit the lamp and left. The two people in the grass heard the sound of the wheels crushing the stones gradually far away, and saw that the light gradually became smaller and darker before standing up straight.

"Let's go back and tell Brother Xue and Luo Yu now."

Ke Ran pulled Chai Jin's sleeve to go down the mountain, but Chai Jin didn't move at all, and pulled him back with a hook.

"No hurry," he lowered his voice. "Let's go to the temple to check first to see if they are making incense tonight. Brother Xue and Luo Yu will be able to catch them when they come again."

Ke Ran thought for a moment, then nodded in response.

The two followed the big and small monk along the winding mountain road. It was late, the moon fell into the mountain quickly, and only a few cold stars appeared in the sky. The two who transported the corpse in front looked back frequently, probably Feeling guilty, the speed of the two of them became faster and faster when they descended the mountain.

Following all the way to the temple, two monks passed through the back mountain. After looking around, they blew out the lights and carefully pulled the cart into the temple through the back door.

Chai Jin took Ke Ran to the roof easily, and followed the route he had already remembered to the courtyard where the incense was made. Before they got close, the two of them saw a white mist filled with intoxicating fragrance hovering above the courtyard.

Chai Jin recognized the mist at a glance and barely stopped in his tracks.

"It seems that this demon monk really can't wait to make incense."

"I can smell it," Ke Ran sniffed. "It's hard to cover up the rancid smell of that corpse, even if he lit the spices all over the yard, the smell is very obvious."

Chai Jin squeezed Ke Ran's hand, then put his hands on his shoulders, and solemnly ordered: "Our horses are on the mountainside, you should hurry up and inform Brother Xue that they are coming to catch people, and they will order them in the morning People are waiting for news at the post station at the foot of the mountain, and the demon monk should boil it for a while, so that when they come over, they can catch him and throw his body among them."

"it is good."

Ke Ran nodded, and after a moment of hesitation, she took out a sachet from her pocket and handed it to Chai Jin, "This sachet smells stronger than last time, so be careful and don't try to show off."

Chai Jin twitched his eyebrows, took the sachet and stuffed it carefully in his arms, "I promise you, you go and come back quickly, I'll watch him here."

The two exchanged a few simple instructions, and then Ke Ran turned around and disappeared into the night, pushing aside the waist-high weeds around him, and walked all the way to the mountainside.

There was a clear division of labor between the two, and Chai Jin was watching the monster monk's every move from behind the roof, and sure enough, he saw that he moved out of the two large black and blue vats from last time, dumping the corpses of dead cats and dogs in one go, and the room was filled with smoke. , the stench is soaring.
